Right now, we have several inches of pea gravel. I got Matteo one of those indoor turf boxed; he just ripped it up. No potty.

Here’s what we’re considering:

- Fake grass, maybe with a sprinkler system to drown the pee smell.

- Real grass but I’m afraid he’ll just dig holes all over it.

- River rocks but will that be comfortable

- River rocks with a turf or fake grass run.

- cedar chips but he eats wood. It would be an all you can eat buffet for him.

The fake grass is the most expensive. Then the turf. Then the river rocks. I’m not sure but I think the cedar chips would be the least expensive.

What do you have and how well does it work?

Anyone else's Cavalier pooping and peeing inside when it's wet outside? He'll go out in 40° weather without a coat, which is his shiver threshold.

But if it's raining or wet outside, he casually does both businesses on the kitchen floor. I've even caught him in the act and said "NO! NO! NO!"

I don't know what to do.

P.S. it started around the time his older brother, Toby, passed but it could just be a weather coincidence. It's getting worse with the worsening rain.

Comfy. Wish I were there with him but I'm taking the picture from my desk. Can I get paid for lounging with my dog?

Maybe if I learned to make artistic sketches of him. Too bad I can't sketch at all.

Matteo is definitely a Good Boi. He deserves to be celebrated on his first birthday next week. What have you all done to spoil your babies on their special day? (Pictures welcome!)

Every single day, he brings in narrow sticks and goes to town on them. He downs those whole things.

Vet said it was ok. But, Matteo, Dude, wood is not a food.

Does this indicate a cheese deficit the vet didn’t pick up on?

It came with adorable glasses but I couldn’t hold the phone and try to get them on. I couldn’t get them on not holding the phone.

How do you people with multiple dogs get them dressed in costumes then sitting neatly for the picture?!

Matteo loves the foam in my lattes. Usually I stick my finger in and let him lick the foam off. But today, I drained my coffee cup so that there was only foam left in it. Then I put it in front of Matteo.

Yes, that’s his entire face in a small delicate china cup.
